  Clean and spacious house. Helpful and friendly owner.

• "We very much enjoyed our stay in the Rindle and will definitely be keeping it in mind for future visits with our extended family."

  The house was very well equipped and the only thing we thought was lacking was a few small side tables in the lounge for drinks, etc. A couple of lightweight cutting boards could have been provided in addition to the beautiful marble slabs which were difficult to move. A pizza cutter could also have been useful. Otherwise very well equipped in the kitchen. The village pub certainly scored10/10 as did the lovely walks to both sides of the reservoir.

• "Really enjoyed our stay, really quick to resolve our one minor issue."

  Well equipped, lovely house with plenty of room. Would have been nice to have a bit more comfortable seating outside to enjoy the views. We would come back! We found the location to be really good, enjoyed water activities and walks at the reservoir which are very close by. Had a few meals at the lazy trout which is a short walk away, Leek is a short drive away and other attractions like Bakewell around 40 minutes away.

• "A group of 12 stayed here for 2 nights and it was absolutely outstanding."

  The house is furnished beautifully and has everything you could possibly need for entertaining/cooking. The communal kitchen/lounge is fab and all guests were blown away by the bedrooms and cleanliness throughout the house. The owner Suzanne communicated everything perfectly and was really helpful. Nearby, the Lazy Trout is a short 8 minute walk away and is well worth a visit.

• "This was one of the best holiday homes we have ever had the good fortune to stay in!"

  Everywhere was spotlessly clean on arrival, the house was so comfy and welcoming with well stocked rooms and common areas. Appliances were in excellent condition and easy to use, the bathrooms were plentiful and clean, and the furniture was comfy and in great nick. The house was so reasonably priced for its standard- a real gem of a find. The gardens are large, well maintained and offer stunning views. Suzanne is a truly fantastic host- communicative, helpful and flexible. Couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a weekend with friends, and will recommend The Rindle and Sykes to everyone. The only fault is that the website pictures don't do it justice- if they can be updated to show the house in its current state then I'm sure that we wont ever be able to book it again, it will be so busy! Other than that, its a 10/10, absolutely fantastic house!!

  I did mention to the owner at the end of the stay that the wet room downstairs did not work well for this family. Upstairs bedrooms comfortable. The property was just what we needed though the furnishings were not all as described on Sykes Cottages website. Lovely location.

Everyone left feeling very relaxed - would definitely recommend

• "We just loved our stay at the Rindle."

  It was perfect. We were 5 adults and 5 children and it was an ideal place to stay. The house had everything we wanted and the setting was wonderful. The children loved playing in the buttercup field next to the garden: it was a really safe place to play. We did lots of things. but the one they liked the best which was completely free, was climbing the Roaches. We also played several times in the amazing play area at the Visitor Centre by the lake. What a surprise to find such an amazing play area within walking distance of our house. We also walked from the house up on to Gun Moor and back down to the house through farmland. We went canoeing on the lake, went on the Steam Train at Rudyard Lake (after which Kipling was named), walked along the Manifold Way, walked along Lathkill Dale, went to the stone circle at Arbor Low and had Bakewell Pudding in Bakewell. All in all a perfect holiday

• "We had a lovely stay at the Rindle this weekend."

  I booked the cottage for 3 nights for 14 people to celebrate my 30th birthday, and it was the perfect size and layout. The location is excellent with a 5 minute walk to the lazy trout pub and the reservoir, and a lovely ridge walk across the roaches not too far away. The weather was nice enough for us to have a barbecue and there was plenty of seating outside for everyone. The property was clean and tidy when we arrived and the host kindly showed us around the property and answered any questions we had. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone staying in this area of the Peak District.

  Plenty of room for a big group of friends and lots of outdoor space for having fun and relaxing in the sunshine. The host Suzanne was so welcoming and friendly ensuring we had everything we needed. Pub is only a short wander away and we ended up going there twice as they were hospitable and decent value. Would definitely come back.

• "Our group included 3 toddlers and we were a little apprehensive about how we would keep them safe without a staircase, but we needn't have worried."

  All the internal doors have traditional cottage style latches at shoulder height and we could close these and contain the toddlers. There is also a single step change in floor level across the main room but even so, there were no trip ups. Very well equipped kitchen with large fridge freezer. Fantastic area with lots for everyone to enjoy. Huge play are at the nearby lake and the miniature steam train at Rudyard lake, and Castaway play in Astly were much enjoyed by all.

• "We were welcomed warmly by the owners, and had a fantastic time at the Rindle."

  Despite being a large family group the accommodation was spacious and worked perfect for the mix ages (1 x grandparents, 2 lots of parents and kids aged 9,8,6,5,1). Despite saying internet could be intermittent, we had no issues (thank goodness). We visited the Tittlesworth Water (park, coffee shop, lovely walk - very family friendly - 7/10 - water was low!). Three Horseshoes (Carvery - looked nicer outside than it was on the inside 5/10). Peak Wildlife park (ideal for under 10's - spot on for us, great activities, lovely staff, even on a wet day, ideal - 9/10). Lazy Trout - went twice for food (could have gone more - delicious!) and for a couple of quick drinks 10/10. Rudyard Lake - beautiful peaceful setting, train very reasonable. Again great family time. 8/10. Gullivers Kingdom (we made the most of it. Not buggy friendly, tired, but some good rides, and would not take much to make this place amazing. Not enough parking! 5/10). Poole's Cavern (really interesting tour - for all ages. Walked up to Solomon's temple too - v windy! 8/10). Primo Piano, Leek (great food, very accommodating, don't open until 6, which is a bit late for our littlies! 9/10). The Roaches and Tea room (Amazing walk on the doorstep! Went up the south side, past Roaches Hall - kids loved the mild challenge and we were generally protected from the wind! Tea Rooms were lovely - we should have made it a main meal here, as we didn't need dinner after great service - 9/10). We had a great week, and we are already discussing coming back again!
